Abstract:
Apparatus for automatic delivery of chest compressions and ventilation to a patient, the apparatus including: a chest compressing device (12) configured to deliver compression phases during which pressure is applied to compress the chest and decompression phases during which approximately zero pressure is applied to the chest, a ventilator (15) configured to deliver positive, negative, or approximately zero pressure to the airway; control circuitry and processor, wherein the circuitry and processor are configured to cause the chest compressing device to repeatedly deliver a set containing a plurality of systolic flow cycles, each systolic flow cycle comprising a systolic decompression phase and a systolic compression phase, and at least one diastolic flow cycle interspersed between sets of systolic flow cycles, each diastolic flow cycle comprising a diastolic decompression phase and a diastolic compression phase, wherein the diastolic decompression phase is substantially longer than the systolic decompression phase.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a passive trainer for incontinence treatment and rehabilitation. The trainer comprises an elongated effecter (10) configured for being reversibly introduced entirely into the rectum via the anus; or into the vagina of a human patient; and, a stopper (20) coupled to said effecter, said stopper being adapted to remain external and adjacent to said anus, for preventing slippage of said effecter deeper into said rectum or said vagina; wherein the treatment and rehabilitation are obtained passively without any application of external forces.
Abstract:
An apparatus for resuscitating a person under cardicac arrest comprises a reciprocating means for mechanical cardiac stimulation, a means for electric cardiac stimulation, a means for controlling such provision of stimulation to allow electric stimulation to be provided once the time average mean volume of blood in the right atrium at asystole or ventricular fibrillation has been reduced by 50% or more and/or 20 ml or more of blood has accumulated in the left ventricle and/or a positive coronary perfusion pressure has been obtained; a tracheal tube, facial mask or similar for adducing breathing gas; a source of compressed breathing gas; a means for controlling the pressure of pressing gas provided. Also disclosed is a corresponding method of treatment, an apparatus for establishing circulation in a person under cardiac arrest, and a disposable tracheal tube.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for automatic delivery of chest compressions and ventilation to a patient.SOLUTION: The apparatus includes: a chest compressing device configured to deliver compression phases during which pressure is applied to compress the chest and decompression phases during which approximately zero pressure is applied to the chest; a ventilator configured to deliver positive, negative, or approximately zero pressure to the airway; and a control circuitry and processor. The control circuitry and processor are configured to cause the chest compressing device to repeatedly deliver a set containing a plurality of systolic flow cycles, each systolic flow cycle comprising a systolic decompression phase and a systolic compression phase, and at least one diastolic flow cycle interspersed between sets of systolic flow cycles, each diastolic flow cycle comprising a diastolic decompression phase and a diastolic compression phase, wherein the diastolic decompression phase is substantially longer than the systolic decompression phase.
